How will the Europe 2020 Strategy Mid-Term Review reduce poverty and inequality?

EAPN organised a round table on Friday 3 October 2014 to present its own assessment and proposals and to create a space for debate between EU Institutions and other stakeholders on how real progress on the poverty target can be made.
